GUIDELINES FOR ALL VOLUNTEERS:
• Enjoy yourself; we are entertaining guests in our Church home.
• Please wear a name tag to make it easier for the guests to identify
you.

or any other grouping that could be hurtful. Focus on conversations
that pertain to current events, not personal history or current position.
• Be aware of and avoid potential hurtful reminders to the guests
of the things that they do not have.
• The schedule is not intended to be rigid – be flexible
and sensitive to special needs and opportunities.

hesitation.
• If you observe child abuse, you must call 911.
